He spent his early practice years at the Insight Meditation Society practicing with Larry Rosenberg, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg and others and later at Panditarama Forrest Meditation Center under the guidance of Sayadaw U Pandita. Will was deeply influenced by his friendship with Dr. Rina Sircar who carried the lineage of Mingun Sayadaw through her teacher Taungpulu Sayadaw, and by the fierce compassion of Chan Master Shen Yen who he met and practiced with in New York.
